Spanning 2022-2024 following my mom's death, one incredible resource that continuously helped me was my dear friend and hypnotherapist, Ali Mae Miller. I cannot WAIT for you to hear from our first Featured Voice of 2025 ‪THE Hypnotherapist of Chicago !! My guest's mission as a hypnotherapist is: I, Ali Miller, stand for my clients discovering their own inner peace and healing. As a result of my work as a hypnotherapist, clients and I get to experience Heaven on Earth. *I will provide a trigger warning that I do talk about previous traumas in my own life, and this is the first time I have spoken publicly about the work I've done with Alie Mae over the past couple of years. Her methodologies have always resonated with me since we began our work together in 2022 and the purity of her practices and heart have always been in alignment with my journey. ABOUT ALI MAE MILLER, CMS-CHt, FIBH As a Medical Support Hypnotherapist, Ali Mae practices Integral Hypnotherapy™ which is the only hypnotherapy methodology that has been scientifically-validated by the National Institutes of Health. The NIH funded a $3 million research study of 125 participants over the course of four years. This particular study validated the effectiveness of hypnotherapy in the treatment of overactive bladder, utilizing the techniques she learned at the Academy. To read more about the results of the study, visit this link: https://journals.lww.com/fpmrs/Abstra... It can be easier than you think to make positive changes in your life. Hypnosis is a change in perspective. It allows us to access the subconscious mind, which holds all of the programming we have been picking up since we were born. We have been programmed since a very young age to believe that everything is HARD, but change doesn't have to be hard with hypnosis. We go into hypnosis several times throughout the day when daydreaming, driving, reading, gaming, etc, so the point of hypnotherapy is to use hypnosis as a self-improvement tool. It is a rewiring. It's changing the negative, limiting beliefs you decided about yourself (or unfortunately heard from others) so long ago. It's focusing on how you want to feel instead of how you are currently feeling, and seeing those positive shifts happen naturally. Ali Mae is transparent with her clients when she shares that hypnosis has helped her personally overcome anxiousness, sadness, trouble sleeping, kicking the smoking habit, a fear of public speaking, and so much more. When you believe and feel good about yourself, you naturally choose healthier actions and decisions that support your well-being.

From the East Coast to West Coast to the Midwest of the United States, Geoffrey Fenelus has spent the past decade as a teacher, school leader, executive director, and consultant for schools, non-profits, and small businesses. He has been responsible for leading stakeholders in addition to caring for children within the education ecosystem. Now, as a member of the NFP Indiana Team, he finds himself (again) helping people with their people problems. Shifting industries from the context of education to the context of human capital solutions, benefits, insurance, and compensation, he notes that both industries are complex, however, he has a deep passion for UN-complicating things for people and producing solutions that will make a transformative impact in schools, non-profits, and midsize professional firms. It was my pleasure to sit in space with Geoff after developing a collegial friendship over the past 6 years. Witnessing one another's seasons and new chapters is always a blessing!

In this episode of The Cultural Capacity Podcast (Featured Voices) , Kara Gonzalez-Howard tells the story of how she chose nursing for her career path (and after nearly 2 decades, why she called it quits!). She discusses the significance her spiritual journey has played since childhood in making major shifts in her life and her joyful acceptance of the “reconstruction” phase of her life's work. Kara served in healthcare as a bedside registered nurse and nursing professional development educator for close to 2 decades. During her nursing career, she gained additional certification in critical incident stress debriefing strategy, trauma-informed care, and suicide prevention. She was actively involved in holistic and best-practice nursing initiatives as a bedside nurse and strives to bring similar strategies and education in partnership with her clients. Balance, energy, and wellbeing have been a top priority in her own practice as well as her mentorship and coaching practice within her current role as VP of Innovation & Marketing at Educator Aide (a consulting firm focusing on cultural change management for K-12 schools, non-profit & corporate agencies). Using her expertise gained within the rigorous healthcare industry, Kara partners with 1:1 clients in other sectors who are in need of an outside perspective when it comes to balancing between career, self-care, and family. Kara's coaching services are for professionals seeking to enhance balance, wellness, and long term cultivation and growth of personal and career goals. She volunteers on the board for the mental health services nonprofit, the Northeastern Center, and is an appointed school board member for a K12 school district in the Midwest.

Comedian Katt Williams shook up the internet last week with an astounding interview that reached 49 million + viewers on YouTube alone within the first week of publication. The astounding traction of this interview is enough for any creative, (especially those focused on teaching others about communication) to stop and take note! Why did this episode resonate so deeply with such a broad audience? As we normally practice sharing the stories of others with our "Featured Voices" interviews, we thought this was a perfect opportunity to showcase the concept of perception vs. reality! On this "mash-up" episode of the Cultural Capacity Podcast, join us for a juicy crossover with the Gonzalez Sisters (our other podcast, WIGIPEDIEA @sketchytherapy on YouTube)! Yes, that's right...Justine & Kara - sisters, business partners, and creators of The Cultural Capacity Podcast - have also been developing a sketch comedy channel + podcast! Our work with clients can get HEAVY, so, when giggles are hard to come by, we have used our love of comedy + chit chat & developed several wig-wearing characters on our alt channel (https://www.youtube.com/@sketchytherapy) to break down different pop culture observations that bring us joy (or just plain get under our skin) ! The Cultural Capacity Podcast is most known for our extensive professional trainings & discussions about developing ourselves and our communication with others. Bad communication can sink a relationship (personal or business) very quickly, while good (and truthful) communication is the foundation of any positive outcome in our relationships & professional endeavors! Why is this a crossover episode? We often utilize our sketch comedy channel to practice improv & public speaking! Creating an interesting narrative & effective communication of a narrative off the cuff takes practice, so what better way to practice this skill than sketch comedy & improv? (Our imrov experience also helps us bring levity to our in-person facilitation during some of our tougher topics of group work. When a room gets "heavy" it's always nice to be able to crack a joke and redirect!) Join us in this crossover conversation between communication & comedy as we discuss this very timely interview to start off our 2024!

Join us for a conversation with Dr. Aimee Evan! Aimee is a sought-after researcher and educational leader. After teaching in, researching, building leadership capacity to sustain efforts, and supporting schools in improvement, she wondered why we wait so long to help schools and, therefore, help students. As a Senior Research Associate and School Improvement Specialist at WestEd, Aimee has an inside and outside perspective on underperforming schools. Growing up on the Southside of Chicago, she attended Chicago Public Schools when CPS was the "worst school system in the U.S." even though no one in her community knew so. Witnessing the lifelong impacts of the quality of education our students receive, Aimee has spent over 20 years working shoulder-to-shoulder with school, district, and state leaders to improve the quality of education for all students. *RESOURCES* WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE: https://youtube.com/@educatoraide Buy Dr. Evan's Book: https://a.co/d/7cGWJMp Twitter: @AimeeEvan LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/aimee-evan-phd-9b30675 Aimee's Professional Website: https://www.wested.org/personnel/aimee-evan/ Official Educator Aide, Inc.
